What color is Sherwin Williams Pier?

Sherwin Williams Pier SW 7545 is a deep, muted brown with a dry, earthy cast that reads warmer than charcoal but less red than many traditional browns. Its low-saturation look gives it a grounded, weathered character, with subtle olive-taupe undertones that can become more noticeable in daylight. In bright rooms, Pier may show a softened khaki-brown quality; under warm lamps, it settles into a richer, darker brown. It is especially effective on cabinetry, built-in shelving, doors, or a dining room accent wall where its depth can be appreciated. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty clay tones, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a collected, material-focused interior.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 9.1%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
